I'm not keen on cats, and gigner in particular I really struggle with so this one will be interesting to say the least. It is a commission (will the commissions ever slow down so I can draw my mum's 3 dogs for her birthday???) A4 on Canson Mi Teintes in Derwent pastel pencils and some Rembrandt soft pastels. I have never used to pencils before, as I've only ever used soft pastels so not only am I doing a ginger cat but trying out a new 'tool'.. talk about throwing myself in the deep end Reference photo

I'm terrified of ginger fur, so putting the rest off until after I finish my exams, don't need any further stress added, particularly when one exam is worth 60% of my grade Damn uni I'd much rather be sitting at home drawing all day!

It was first go with pencils, and using them on a horrid ginger cat was a big challenge, but they were must easier to work with than straight soft pastels. I have just finished a horse head study in solely pencils, and very happy with it!
